San Diego’s Ronnie Benton and Steve Juillerat of Whittier hope to keep their perfect 2017 records intact when the So Cal Oval Karters return to John Aden’s Wheel2Wheel Raceway on “Military Appreciation Night” this Saturday, May 6.  In addition to the five classes of SCOK the Speedway Sprints and Dirt Karts from W2W will also be in action.  Racing will start at 6:00 PM.

Benton, in the Senior 4 Cycle Class, and Juillerat in the F200’s, won the season openers on the same Wheel2Wheel 1/8 of a mile banked dirt oval on March 18.  They each backed up those victories with wins at Perris Auto Speedway April 15.

Hesperia’s Chris Southern won the season opening KT100 main event at W2W in March and his son Thomas won the second round of the season at Perris.  Chris Southern also won the Open class main at the March race at W2W.  Cathedral City karter Dillon Hoffman came home first at the second Open Class race of the season at Perris three weeks ago.
